EXPERIENCE IN DATA COLLECTION. IV. ISSUE FOR END USE DATA AS USAGE DATA
Abstract
An attempt has been made to show how each ship or supporting activity could maintain records which are essentially issue for end use information which will closely approximate usage data, so that inquiries of all kinds as to material usage may be answered from the record. Each of these records would be useful to the ship or activity itself in taking care of its own demands for loading. The essence of the problem has 4 facets: (1) an exact catalogue of the ship and its installations; (2) a functional classification of all ship's materials; (3) comprehensive and good, enforceable and enforced, policies; and (4) recognition that the ship must provide information to the system before the system can provide material or material guidance to the ship.
